Can not add new user to the LDAP

[Arie Skliarouk]

Binary package hint: luma

Version: 2.4

Use plugin "usermanagement", press "Add" button, Observe the "Please select the location where the new account should be stored".
On my server the people are stored at the following subtree:
ou=People,dc=mygreatcompany,dc=com@mail

But when I select the subtree, so that the Location shows the aforementioned DN, and press "Next", nothing happen.

If logging window is enable the following message appears in it:

14:25:43 An unhandled exception occured. This is most likely a bug
in the programming of Luma. In order to fix this, send an email with the
following text and a detailed description of what you were doing to
<email address hidden>.
  File "/usr/lib/luma/plugins/usermanagement/AccountWizard.py", line 251, in checkNext
    dataObject.addAttributeValue('uidNumber',[nextfreeuid])
  File "/usr/lib/luma/base/backend/SmartDataObject.py", line 246, in addAttributeValue
    attributeName = self.attributeMap[attributeName.lower()]
Reason: <type 'exceptions.KeyError'> 'uidnumber'

I'm facing the same issue:

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Upstream fixed this exception but it is still impossible to add new users.
We should close this bug and open a new one.
